bitwig-fedora

Downloads the latest Bitwig Studio and creates an RPM for it.

Only depends on rpm-build, not on Debian tools.

$ sudo dnf install rpm-build

Bitwig depends on the v8 implementation of JPEG, i.e. libjpeg.so.8. The implementation shipping with Fedora is v6, so you need to first enable an additional COPR repository by running

$ sudo dnf copr enable aflyhorse/libjpeg

To create the RPM package for the latest stable release, run:

$ ./bitwig-rpm.sh

Automatically install the created RPM package by using command substitution to execute the script and pass the name of the RPM to a dnf install command

$ sudo dnf install $(./bitwig-rpm.sh) -y
$ sudo dnf install $(./bitwig-rpm.sh 4.4.10) -y
$ sudo dnf install $(./bitwig-rpm.sh ~/Downloads/bitwig-studio-9.1beta1.deb) -y
